Mendel's principles of heredity: A defence
William Bateson and Gregor Mendel
When Gregor Mendel's forgotten pea experiments resurfaced, William Bateson became their fiercest champion. He walks through the hybrids, the neat splitting of traits across the first and second generations, and answers the critics who doubted that inheritance could follow such clean rules. The book that carried genetics into the English-speaking world and coined much of its vocabulary. Trace the moment heredity became a science.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
